A piece of advice for any armed services member who follows these orders. It didn’t end well for the gestapo, ss, and the rest of that sorry bunch. Fascists ultimately always lose. This isn’t a threat. It is simply a history lesson. Think carefully about your next actions my friends.

So let me get this straight… Trump floats deporting American citizens to El Salvador, and now DHS is announcing a new Global Entry partnership with El Salvador? You can’t make this up. They’re setting up the infrastructure for authoritarianism — and dressing it up as “efficiency.” #resist

Secretary Kristi Noem # 3 @Se... 1d S ... •@CBP is announcing a Global Entry partnership with El Salvador, making El Salvador one of our 20 partner countries whose citizens can apply for Global Entry membership. This partnership will enhance the speed and accuracy of the arrival process, while protecting national security at the same time. A great step in our partnership with El Salvador!
